My mom, who has Alzheimers, couldn’t remember doing anything special for our childhood Easters. I had to remind her of the glazed ham with raisin sauce, the candied sweet potatoes, the dyed eggs and deviled eggs, the egg hunts and Easter baskets full of candies and treats. Holiday traditions are great events to write into life stories, and I personally think everyone should include some recipes of the foods they grew up with. I’m including the raisin sauce recipe in case you want to sweeten up your ham leftovers.
